Resource Group as a Service

Overview

An Azure resource group is a logical container that holds related Azure resources, such as virtual machines, storage accounts, and web apps, for an application or service. It allows you to manage these resources as a single unit, making it easier to deploy, update, and delete them together as a group. Resources within a group can have different regions, but the metadata for the resource group is stored in a single location you choose.

FAQS

What is the location of an Azure Resource Group?
When you create a resource group, you specify a location (region) for it. This location is where the resource group's metadata is stored, but it does not restrict the location of the resources themselves. The resources within a resource group can be located in different Azure regions.

What happens if I delete a resource group?
Deleting a resource group is irreversible and will permanently delete the resource group and all of its contents. Any resources contained within the group, such as virtual machines, storage accounts, and virtual networks, will also be deleted.

Can a resource group be moved to another subscription? 
Yes, you can move a resource group's resources to another subscription. The process involves moving the resources within the resource group to a new or existing resource group in the destination subscription. You cannot move the resource group itself, only the resources it contains. 

Can a resource belong to more than one resource group?
No, every Azure resource must belong to one, and only one, resource group.
